Sorry 'bout the previous empty message, I'm not used to mailx.
Due to a recent death in the family (ie my rusty trusty Matrox Mill G200)
I have had to install a borrowed S3 ViRGE DX. I have rerun xf68config and now
when I try startx as user david I get
X: user not authorised to run the X server, aborting.
Now I know there's a fix for this but I cannot for the life of me remember
it.
Anyone help, please? We have Debian Woody, Xfree86 4.0.2.
TIA,
David (lost without EXMH)
